That’s Just the Way He Is

((Again, love you Tanaka.))

Although Aobajousai managed to secure the first few points, Karasuno doesn’t stay on the fence for very long as a certain budding rivalry begins to stir between two particularly heated players, who seem more like two Siamese Fighting Fish who’d trespassed into each other’s territory.

Thankfully Tsukki became aware of this the moment he saw the sparks fly with these simple-minded types, and uses this to their advantage by cleverly switching places with Tanaka to block out Kyotani’s mimicking spike.

And with Aobajousai’s Mad Dog losing his cool thanks to the combined elements of Tanaka’s innate provoking-personality and Tsukki’s astute observation skills, they’re able to change the score around by one point; which clearly threatens Aobajousai’s team enough for their coach to flag in first time out of this round.

((Pffft! God his face on this last page.))

The Beginning of the End

With this being their final set, the coaches and captains give their teams their last words of advice and pep talk, assuring them that they are strong and that they've worked hard to reach where they are now.

And with this being their last game against each other in mind, both teams immediately go off like a shot to try and earn the first few points…which unfortunately goes to Aobajousai through the combined force of the Grand King and Mad Dog.
